Detroit
I just wanted to look out over the city one last time. I tried to mitigate the mess. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. I just don’t want to do it anymore. I’m ready to be forgotten and to forget. We don’t need to talk about this.

I am ******* a predator,
I love him I tell myself I know that We will be together forever I don’t believe that We could be separated My thoughts tell me that He’s the love of my life Sometimes my heart lies and says I could live an eternity Without him Like my friends say “We’re perfect for each other” And you can’t tell me He’s not the one. Now read from bottom to top.

When you did it for him,
The back of my throat tastes like you. But the older you. The “suburbs of Baltimore that I never bothered to learn” you. The “back when we were happy” you. I still can’t place your flavor. Is it the gin? Or the honey?

A pinch of bee pollen
You hurt me and that’s why I keep coming back to you. I like the way you crack and rearrange my bones to fit into the holes of your night sky. But I am no North Star. You’ll find no solace in the soft glow of my distant implosion.

The darkness is creeping in, and I can’t see anything around it. I’m scared. I’ve always avoided the movies that make you jump-- you know the ones that give you nightmares, even after they end-- but now reality is one big horror film. I’m gonna throw up.

Be honest. You love him. Can't imagine life without him. He's your best friend, the person you always run to... But, He doesn't' make you happy. You've never felt sustained happiness in this relationship. And moving to DC, getting married, having kids, Isn't going to change that. Look, I'm not telling you what to do, because **** if I know myself, but at least be honest with yourself. He's never going to be the guy who calls the cable company to dispute his bill.

Note to self
Through every little crack,
 And into Spaces we thought were sealed, Revealing Weaknesses we didn’t realize existed. It fills us,
 And expands. Cracking us open, 
 Separating us bit
, By, 
Bit. This is the beginning of my end.

The resentment seeps in,
I know I'm good at faking it, because my entire life is make-believe. . *
